Color schemes You can get
around this problem by using
tables.
That way,
you can have the best of both worlds. For an

All browsers
view colors differently. What looks a medium shade
of blue on one, may look a darker blue on another.
Its just the way the settings are on a paticular
computer. Just like the colors on TV's.
Deciding
on a Look & Feel for your site
We design for 800X600 because that is the
setting over half of your online viewers use. This
allows those viewers to easily see the content on
your site whether viewing in a large or small
browser window. The site on a browser set to
1024X768 will appear different than a browser set
at 800X600.
If you decide to use frames we suggest not
using more than 2 or 3 unless absolutely
necessary.
The
frames in the site above are running horizonal.
Frames can run horizontal or vertical. You can also
combine the two.
It
depends on what will work the best for your site
when organizing and displaying your
information.
If you would like people to be able to print
information from your site, It is best to go with a
light background and dark text. Using a dark
background and light text is unreadable when
printed.
When deciding on a look try to keep in mind,
who your target audience is and what type of
information your site will contain. You could look
at it like there are basically two types of sites.
There are sites like Yahoo,
or CNN
that
offer lots of information as soon as you enter the
site. And then there are sites
like
Coca
Cola
or
ToniGuy.com
where
design comes first and information comes later.
